Clarke reveals ambition for captaincy

Melbourne: A fit-again Michael Clarke, who recently returned to the Australian cricket team as vice-captain, wants to lead the side in future but only if incumbent Ricky Ponting decides to walk away on his own.

Clarke, who missed the Champions Trophy and Australia’s seven-match ODI tour of India due to a back injury, returned to the 12-member Aussie squad for the first Test against West Indies in Brisbane from November 26.

He said at the moment he was happy to captain Australia in the T20 format and would be more than delighted to get the job once Ponting calls it a day.

“ The truth is I hope I continue to get opportunities, whether it be one-day cricket, now with Twenty20 or hopefully one day I get the chance to captain in Test cricket,” Clarke was quoted as saying by Daily Telegraph. — PTI
